Thanks a bunch to the info I found on this forum I now have my Saiga 12 ready to SBS once my stamp comes through. It has been submitted just over 3 months now, so any day I should be getting it back. I wanted to share some pictures. This is just a gloss over of the work involved but I wanted to post. This took so long, one because I am waiting on a stamp and, Two because I work 2 jobs. So here is a pictorial of my build: When I bought it used it had already been converted with a bolt hold open installed I wanted to go 12" and base on info here I decided the right thing t

great. One more question. Should I weld up the relief hole on the side of the gas block? I have read yes and no

Thanks, I have another plug coming

I still have the original puck in it and the bolt carrier is making contact with the puck. My question is: How much end play should I have between
